Late work night last night... but it was worth it!

I worked till 8 o'clock last night working on my 3 new listings and 4 new buyers! I'm going to help someone with a short sale today also. I love my job!

Great day yesterday!

Had a busy day yesterday, but I got new listings and buyers! All in all a great day.

I can't believe it...

Casey Anthony was found not guilty! One day she'll have to answer to God. Either way I can't believe it's Wednesday already! I hope you all have a great rest of the week. There is lots of activity in the market so I'll be busy!

Great weekend!

Wow what a great weekend! It was nice seeing all my friends and family for the 4th. I have also been granted the honor of being the maid of honor for the third wedding happening next year. I'm happy for my two sisters and my close friend of 22 years congratulations to all of them. After the busy weekend I'm excited to get back to work! I hope you all have a great week. I got 3 buyer leads this weekend so if your'e looking to buy or sell call or e-mail me!

The weekend is finally here!

It's been a busy week and I have lots going on. There are buyers everywhere and lots of inspection reports to get done. But the weekend is here and I'm looking forward to the fireworks on Lake James tomorrow night and seeing my family Sunday and Monday!

New Listing!

I got a new listing today! It's an attractive country home with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and sits on a full basement. Out back there is a Pole Barn with a loft upstairs for additional storage. This charming home is nestled on .85 acres close to town but still has the feel of the country for only $110,000. This property won't last long!

REO Inventory Reaches All-Time High

I found this article and found it very interesting.  Did you know each foreclosure can lower your neighborhood value up to 9%?  Please call me if you or someone you know is struggling with paying their mortgage or wants to sell!  I can help! 

REO Inventory Reaches All-Time High
The national inventory of REO properties rose in March to a record high of 2.2 million. Foreclosure starts also increased by 33 percent month-over-month, according to the March Mortgage Monitor report by Lending Processing Services Inc.

However, it’s not all doom and gloom for the housing market. The report revealed a significant increase in foreclosure sales, which is helping to chip away at the swelling inventories that are battering many markets.

Also, delinquencies continue to decline, which is a sign of fewer foreclosures brewing in the pipeline. Delinquencies fell more than 11 percent in March from February — the lowest level since 2008 and a nearly 20 percent year-over-year decline, according to Lender Processing Services Inc. The total U.S. loan delinquency rate, which is for loans 30 or more days past due (but not in foreclosure), is 7.78 percent.

States with the highest percentage of loans where home owners have fallen behind are Florida, Nevada, Mississippi, New Jersey, and Georgia.

On the other hand, states that boast the lowest percentage of delinquent loans are Montana, Wyoming, Alaska, South Dakota, and North Dakota.
